Dependency injection for Eclipse 3.x views available for Eclipse 4.7 M3

Posted on October 26, 2016 by Lars Vogel

You can now use dependency injection (di) in your Eclipse 3.x. views.You can enable this for a view via the new inject flag in the org.eclipse.ui.views extension.

e3-views-enable-di


public class SampleView extends ViewPart {

@Inject IWorkbench workbench;

private TableViewer viewer;

@Override
public void createPartControl(Composite parent) {
viewer = new TableViewer(parent, SWT.MULTI | SWT.H_SCROLL | SWT.V_SCROLL);

viewer.setContentProvider(ArrayContentProvider.getInstance());
viewer.setInput(new String[] { "One", "Two", "Three" });
viewer.setLabelProvider(new ViewLabelProvider());

// Create the help context id for the viewer's control
workbench.getHelpSystem().setHelp(viewer.getControl(), "test7.viewer");
}
// more stuff
}

I hope that this will help Eclipse IDE extenders to move towards the Eclipse 4.x programming approach.
